1st Bulletin

The SCINEGHE-VII workshop will be held in Assisi (Perugia), Italy from October 7 -9, 2009. This is the seventh workshop in a series after six successful editions in Perugia (2003), Bari (2004), Cividale del Friuli (2005), Elba Island (2006), Villa Mondragone (2007) and Padova (2008).
 
Fundamental research on the nature of matter at the high energy frontier takes place in three main fields: accelerator-based particle physics, high energy astrophysics, and the cosmology of the early universe. The study of astroparticle physics can have significant implications for collider physics at the LHC, and, at the same time, the LHC project provides the laboratory to perform measurements of great importance for cosmic ray astrophysics and cosmology. By the end of this year the Large Hadron Collider will begin taking data and start the exploration of the TeV scale physics and of the physics beyond the Standard Model. The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope mission has started in June 2008 and, after nearly one year of excellent performance on orbit, is producing a huge number of physics results, some of them already published and many more will be available by the time of the workshop. Interesting results will be also available from PAMELA, ATIC and Auger on cosmic ray physics. Ground based experiments  (HESS, MAGIC, VERITAS, MILAGRO and ARGO) have been observing photons at the TeV scale with unprecedented accuracy and will also provide new results for the incoming years. Finally neutrino experiments and underground experiments for direct observation of dark matter and neutrino mass measurement are doing rapid progress.
  
The workshop will be distributed over 3 days, aiming to bring together researchers with different scientific backgrounds, High Energy Physics and High Energy Astrophysics,  to share interests and to exchange new results in the various fields.
Participation and abstract submission of young researchers and PhD students are strongly encouraged."
